New tune to All Together Sing

Through continued programmes like the development of Enrichment Centres, we are helping to encourage a culture of learning in over 200 primary schools island-wide. Our Enrichment Centres, which are spaces developed for students who are in danger of being left behind due to learning difficulties, are designed to make learning fun. On September 8, which was recognised as International Literacy Day, we celebrated with the talented students from Gregory Park Primary School who were proud to say “I Can Read”.

Jamaica’s only high school choir competition is back for its thirteenth season with some new prizes from Digicel Foundation. This year, the top three schools will share grants totaling $1 million dollars to go towards school projects. The first, second and third place schools with each receive $500,000, $350,000 and $150,000.

Last year’s winner, Old Harbour High School, walked away with a Mobile Science Lab, science equipment as well as ICT items including interactive whiteboards and tablets as part of our science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) partnership with the Ministry of Education, Youth & Information.
